A few more from a very good night (22nd) and a moderate one (24th). Mars is of course dustier than St Kilda's trophy cabinet, Saturn's polar storm (components WS2 and WS3) were in superb view, and there's tantalising hints that Jupiter's South Tropical Disturbance might just be re-forming ahead of the Red Spot, as has happened historically (https://www.britastro.org/node/14405). I'm not convinced just yet if it is, but desperate for the next decent night with it in view...

I made a bunch of maps from the 22nd June for Jupiter (https://photos.app.goo.gl/56oQmWnNTZQR2nJYA) in RGB, IR and methane, also messing around with Landsat-style imagery using the additional bands of CH4 and IR as pseudo-bands 6 & 5. Replacing RGB with the CH4-IR-B combo (bands 6-5-2) is rather fun and colourful, as well as highlighting different things!
